• Abstract: We propose a simulation framework for generating realistic instance-dependent noisy labels via a pseudo-labeling paradigm. We show that this framework generates synthetic noisy labels that exhibit important characteristics of the label noise in practical settings via comparison with the CIFAR10-H dataset. Equipped with controllable label noise, we study the negative impact of noisy labels across a few realistic settings to understand when label noise is more problematic. We also benchmark several existing algorithms for learning with noisy labels and compare their behavior on our synthetic datasets and on the datasets with independent random label noise. Additionally, with the availability of annotator information from our simulation framework, we propose a new technique, Label Quality Model (LQM), that leverages annotator features to predict and correct against noisy labels. We show that by adding LQM as a label correction step before applying existing noisy label techniques, we can further improve the models' performance.

  Existing research on learning with noisy labels predominantly focuses on synthetic noise patterns. We constructed a benchmark dataset to better understand label noise in real-world text classification settings. Our findings reveal that while pre-trained models are resilient to synthetic noise, they struggle against instance-dependent noise.

Our algorithm leverages casual representation learning and simultaneously identifies the high-level content and style latent factors from the data.

  meta-learner is prone to overfitting since there are only a few available samples. When handling the data with noisy labels, the meta-learner could be extremely sensitive to label noise. We present Eigen-Reptile (ER) that updates the meta- parameters with the main direction of historical task-specific parameters.

  In this paper we address the problem of classification in the presence of label noise. In the heart of our method is a sample selection mechanism that relies on the consistency between the annotated label of a sample and the distribution of the labels in its neighborhood in the feature space. Our method significantly surpasses previous methods on both CIFARCIFAR100 with artificial noise and real-world noisy datasets such as WebVision and ANIMAL-10N.

  We propose a principled model of label noise that generalizes instance-dependent noise to multiple labelers. Under our labeler-dependent model, label noise manifests itself under two modalities: natural error of good-faith labelers, and adversarial labels provided by malicious actors. We present two adversarial attack vectors that more accurately reflect the label noise that may be encountered in real-world settings.
